Domitian Sestertius unpublished variant
« on: March 03, 2018, 10:47:47 am »
Hello everyone.

It doesn't happen often to come cross an unrecorded variety of sestertius.

I was therefore very happy to add this large Domitian's beauty to my collection.

The Ceres - Annona reverse type was carried over from the Nero coinage and shortly struck by Domitian (85-86 A.D.).

The common legend on reverse is ANNONA AVGVST, while the variant ending with AVGVSTI (like my new coin) was recorded so far only for the second issue of year 85.

I'm glad to share it

Alberto
